The weekend before Christmas, my dad, one of my brother-in-laws, and I went hunting at a place my dad has been managing for a couple of years now. Anyways we walked away with a little meat up

I dropped this cull at about 150 yards.






My BIL put this 10 point down the next morning. He's still pretty new to hunting and is his best to date.




I also watched this decent 9 point all weekend. He was probably the best buck (antler-wise) all weekend, but figured it was best to let him grow another year or two more.
Based purely on the multiple other bucks I watched all weekend, I aged mine at 3.5, the 9 point below showed to be 4.5, and my BIL's 10 was 5.5+. Excuse the picture. This was through my binos and zoomed in pretty good on my phone. I'll try to get more pics from the camera later.

Sweet. Nice kills. Looks like someplace in the hill country. Good deer there.

Thanks yall. We were out near ozona. The cull I shot had a boogered up front left leg. I just wish I would have gotten a picture of it.

Here are a couple more I snagged off the camera. This is at 80x zoom at 150 yards away.

The one closest to the camera is the 9 point I watched all weekend, while the 10 in the back was just another 4.5-5.5 year old I let walk.
